Babcock eager to return to Saskatoon
Mike Babcock is ready to get to work in the city where his love of sports started.
Babcock, who will arrive in Saskatoon in May as head coach of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies men’s hockey team, said he didn’t know what to think when he was offered the job at Christmas.
“We had the whole crew over at Christmas. Dave Hardy called and the bottom line is he asked,” Babcock told the Green Zone on Tuesday when discussing the call he got from the Huskies’ chief athletic officer.
“I got off the phone, we had a good laugh with the family and my wife gave me the Heisman — she didn’t say nothing.”
